Uhh I don’t know how much more defensively minded you can get when the average age of a soldier in the ukraine is what 40 years old now from the demand of able bodied people not just in usual western military years (who pass over people past 25 in conscription). Everyone who can seemingly is contributing to the defensive effort. What might you even do differently? Switzerland is mountainous terrain. One could conceivably hold off a column of armor with the right geography with an irregular militia; ied the start of the column and it blocks itself in a chokepoint. You can’t do that in the ukraine. It is board flat wheat fields. You can mine it which both sides have done by now but that is about all you can do defensively over such a porous surface for mechanized infantry. There is no hold point. Frankly it is bewildering to me why russia did not take over the country in 30 days or so considering. This should have been a desert storm situation for russia. Clearly something is going right defensively to protract this war for so long on the part of ukraine.
